Kuma Reality Games and The History Channel® today
announced the release of “Shootout!: Tet Offensive,” an all-new multi-player
“game-isode” that puts players inside the series of bold and bloody battles that
turned the tide of the Vietnam War, known as the Tet Offensive. Tune in to the
coinciding “Shootout!” episode on The History Channel December 8 at 8:00pm
ET/PT, and then log on to
www.History.com or
www.KumaGames.com to test your skill in the historically accurate setting of
the Vietnam War.
The latest “Shootout!” chapter captures the
essence of the Vietnam war in 1968 at the start of the Lunar New Year
Celebrations, transporting players 20 miles northwest of Saigon where an
American platoon has been battered and bloodied and is in dire need of back-up
after a surprise offensive by Vietnamese forces. Gamers serve as members of the
reinforcement troops of the Bravo Company who swoop through, quickly tracking
the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese troops. The action escalates as their
stealthy pursuit soon leads to a harrowing shootout through the jungles
surrounding An My.
Using heavy 3D CGI animation sequences, players
can experience the thick of the battle from the viewpoint of the historical
participants themselves. Viewers of the show can log onto
www.History.com or
www.KumaGames.com and
download the online game for free immediately after each episode airs.
